| Crossing to Second Six-Yard Box |
From the June 6, 2007, issue of The Technical Area

Purpose: To develop crossing skills in all players.
Procedure: The crosser will receive a rolling ball from the server. The crosser crosses to the second six-yard box as attackers 1 and 2 make runs through it. the first (near-post) runner is the player farthest from the ball or the highest forward (attacker 1). Attacker 2 holds his or her run to arrive in the second six a fraction later and diagonally behind attacker 1. This gives depth to the runners so that if the cross is behind attacker 1, attacker 2 will be positioned to finish the cross. All players should perform this exercise because the dynamic nature of soccer demands that even backs may end up crossing or even getting on the end of crosses. This exercises should be done from both flanks.
